Revell 1/72 Sukhoi Su-24M "Fencer" (04399)
The Su-24 was regarded by NATO as one of the most dangerous of the Warsaw Pact weapons
platforms. Today the aircraft is the bomber that is most flown by the Russian forces and in
the greatest numbers. After the prototype took off on its maiden flight in January 1970 the
Su-24 gave the Soviet Air Force some decisive innovations. This tactical bomber can be used
for both low and medium altitude supersonic flights by day and by night and, thanks to its
robust undercarriage, is suitable for operation on unsurfaced runways. From 1974 the Su-24
was delivered to the armed forces in large numbers. The Su-24M with its improved combat
capability went into active service for the first time in 1983. It was equipped with a new
avionics system for use with laser-guided and remote-controlled weapons, a nose cone
modified to take a new radar system and an in-flight refuelling probe that was extended
immediately in front of the cockpit. It can carry up to 8000kg of disposable stores on 8
hardpoints under the fuselage and 4 external stations on the wings. From 1989 an export
version, the Su-24MK, was sold to several states in the Near East. In total over 1,200 of
the Su-24 were produced.
